Authors Note: Yeah, this story could use a 2.0. I mean in the original, there are several scenes I want to light on fire and dance on..Anyway. It does make me slightly sad, I mean it had 151 reviews! I never get a hundred. Anyway, this isn't called a "re-write" because for the sake of my sanity, I had to delete the other one.
Anyway, for those just going this story, welcome to the land of I Am Not Normal! =)
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Chapter 1: Failed Escape
Time had become distant, feeling is abnormal, he couldn't breathe, nor remember why he is here. The chains are heavy, thick and lift his arms above his head, his shoulders ache from...days? Months maybe of the elevation. He wasn't sure who he was, the only thing coming to mind, is laughter.
His nerves were jumping like he's in a battle but the man, cannot figure out why. He is obviously a prisoner, but to who? And why?
"You're awake." A voice states, voice calm. The voice draws back several memories, Kindle. His name is Kindle.
"You state the obvious." Kindle says voice scratchy and weak from lack of use. "Where is Valka?" Kindle asks lifting up his head, only to see blackness. At this moment, Kindle realizes he is blindfolded.
"Worry not, my friend. She is...alive." The voice says and Kindles hands curl into fists, the chain clinking softly.
"What have you done with her, Viggo?" He hisses, a low growl sounding through the air. The headache pounds painfully against his skull, the reason his memories keep slipping out of place, where it has come from, Kindle has no memories or even a hint of one, its a bad head injury, that much his aching skull confirms.
"Relax. She is of no use to Drago. You, however, are." Viggo says and Kindle freezes. Time had slipped past him sense he and his mates' capture, but there was no doubt it had been several weeks.
"What does he want?" Kindle asks lips curling in distaste for the man.
"I would be a fool to tell you." Viggo says and the sound of a sword being drawn echoes in the small space, "Valka however, will survive another day, if you start speaking." Viggo says and Kindle glares at the man through the blindfold.
"I'll die before I talk." He growls and Viggo laughs softly.
"No need for such drastic measures my friend. Drago will see to it, and you know this." Viggo says and Kindles inner battle pauses slightly. Kindle does know, but no prince will give the secrets to his kingdom, unless he already has. Kindle's memories are blurred, and time is distant unreal and feels off.
Kindle growls lower before he wills himself to change. The transformation takes energy like the sun dying out abruptly inside of him, but Kindle knows what must be done, even if he doesn't make it to the end.
The blindfold falls from the jet black Night Fury's eyes and Kindle sees again for the first time in weeks. Viggo looks startled but holds his sword up. The chains snap and Kindle jumps onto Viggo blasting a plasma blast at the door.
The Night Fury leaps through the open doorway as shouts of alarm start ringing through the air. Kindle lifts his ears up silver eyes narrowed, come on! War cries break the dragon from his thoughts and he snaps his head around. Dragon Hunters file into the room and Kindle growls lowly firing a blast at the advancing man.
The battle persists until Drago Bludvist walks forward, dragging a bound women by her hair. Kindles eyes widen. "Stop the fight." Drago commands and Kindle looks at him, silver eyes darkening.
"Kindle!" Valka shouts on her knees looking at the Night Fury, relief in her gaze. Kindles restless mind relaxes at the fact she seems okay, unharmed even.
"Stop the fight or I'll run her through." Drago commands and Kindle growls. He is so close to freedom, for both of them. He can't give up this chance now! A blade shoving through his scales snaps the Night Fury from his thoughts and Drago stands in front of him before withdrawing his blade.
Kindle can't create the sound to explain the agony. Valka's eyes widen and Kindle can feel his heart pumping slower and slower, his vision blurring. Valka races forward reaching her mate before Kindle looks at her, "I'm sorry." He murmurs.
"No." Valka breathes, "Don't apologize." She whispers begging him to look up at her again.
"I love…" The words die in the Night Fury's throat and Valka's eyes widen with horror.
Kindles head slumps against the wood and Valka stares at his body before her blue eyes harden, eyes narrowing. The Dragon Hunters start to advance on her but Valka sits up and rips the maniacs apart and grabs a sword diving at Drago with a cry of outrage.
"How could you!?" She shouts and Drago lifts up his staff, meeting her angry blows. "You heartless monster!"
Drago's eyes hold fury as well, but more contained. He swings his staff forward and it hits Valka across the face. Her jaw clenches the only movement the women makes to show she felt the pain.
Drago whacks his staff against Valka's arm and this time, she does cry out. She drops her sword and grabs her arm before she leaps forward jumping over Drago and racing past him. "Stop her!" Viggo yells.
Valka shoves through several doors before she reaches the deck. The transformation is subconscious and Valka flaps her powerful wings jumping into the air. The Dragon Hunters fire at the Night Fury, but they all miss. Valka glances back at the boat, her heart aching. She flaps her powerful wings once, twice, thrice before the boat fades into the distance, the sound of her flapping wings and heavy breaths the only thing left in the air.
Authors Note: In May this year I decided I wanted a story where Hiccup and Toothless and actually siblings. Hence I Am Not Normal. :) I've re-edited and thought about this...a lot since I sort of discontinued it. Anyway, it has an ending now.
Please review!
